The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a 2021 ruling on Epic Games' antitrust lawsuit against Apple, which both parties had appealed.
Epic launched its lawsuit against the iPhone maker in August 2020, following the company's decision to revoke Epic's Fortnite developer account, blocking the battle royale game from being distributed on its devices. Apple made the move after Epic contractually mandated App Store payment mechanisms within its Fortnite iOS app, which would have allowed it to avoid Apple's 30 percent platform fees.in nine of its 10 claims, determining the company had failed to prove Apple held a monopoly as defined by antitrust laws.
"Today's decision reaffirms Apple's resounding victory in this case, with nine of 10 claims having been decided in Apple's favour," an Apple spokesperson said in a statement shared with press."For the second time in two years, a federal court has ruled that Apple abides by antitrust laws at the state and federal levels."
Apple added,"We respectfully disagree with the court's ruling on the one remaining claim under state law and are considering further review."
